Hangzhou Yunti Technology

Hangzhou Yunti Technology Co., Ltd., operating as bookln.cn, is a technology service provider for the entire educational publishing value chain. The company was established in June 2014 by founder and CEO Zhou Wei. Zhou's journey into the educational publishing sector began during his time at Zhejiang University's computer college, where he authored nearly ten computer-related postgraduate entrance exam tutoring books between 2010 and 2014. This experience exposed him to the potential for technological innovation to significantly improve the industry's efficiency and user experience, which prompted him to start the company.

The company's core business revolves around empowering the educational publishing industry through technology. Yunti Technology serves educational book publishers by offering a suite of solutions that address the entire lifecycle of a book, from creation and distribution to reader engagement and monetization. The business model focuses on providing SaaS products and digital solutions to publishers, helping them to connect with readers and explore diverse commercial opportunities. Its primary product, "Shulian" (Bookchain), is an intelligent platform for educational book creation and reader services. This platform provides tools like AI-powered collaborative writing editors, specialized functions for complex formulas, and systems for managing test and image libraries to enhance publishing efficiency. For readers, it offers digital add-ons and services accessed via QR codes in books, which has helped publishers connect with nearly 300 million readers.

Another significant offering is "Shuliantong," a platform that digitizes the book distribution process. It integrates services such as product selection, warehousing, logistics, and real-time order and payment processing, connecting book suppliers with distributors to boost sales. The company generates revenue from value-added services created through reader engagement and by providing its comprehensive technology solutions to publishing houses. Yunti Technology has secured multiple funding rounds, including a Series B+ of nearly 100 million RMB in 2023, led by the Anji government industrial fund. The firm operates its headquarters in Anji and maintains research and development centers in Hangzhou and Chengdu, with a customer service center in Beijing.
